Have the Conversation
End of Life Planning & After Death Care Webinars
Thinking and talking about your final wishes can be tough.
It’s not always easy but, doing the work of deciding, discussing, and documenting your final wishes and sharing those wishes with your loved ones has proven to ease anxieties and reduce stress.
Peace of mind for everyone!
After Death Care & Grief Support
How to Make Your Final Arrangements
Just like planning for a wedding, a baby, or buying
a home or car, families need to discuss funeral planning and the costs involved. Avoiding the topic will make it more difficult and likely more expensive
for your loved ones.
Planning ahead can make a painful time easier
to bear, and many find great meaning and
peace carrying out thoughtful funeral
plans that honor their
loved one’s wishes.
Attend this webinar and learn how to:
Be a Savvy Consumer – Know Your Rights
When Dealing with Funeral Homes
Shop Until You Drop - Pre-Planning vs.
Pre-Paying Final Arrangements

Create the Ceremony You Want in
Celebration of Your Life
Decide Type of Interment
Where, How, When
Decide What Happens to Your Cremains
Scattered Glass, Stones, or Jewelry
Whatever you choose, be sure it’s based on what’s meaningful to you, not on what you think
other people expect you to do.
No amount of money, great or small, can express how we feel about those who have died. Taking an active role in funeral arrangements—whether that means carrying out the whole process without a funeral
home or just preparing and delivering the
eulogy—is more meaningful than
the money we spend.
